+Summary: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr) does not work properly
+
+Description of Problem: 
+ 
+The MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr) attribute does not seem to work propertly for 
+passing a System.String to a C function (using P/Invoke). When marshalling as an 
+LPWStr, the string should be passed as an array of double-byte characters. However, 
+when the C function receives the parameter, this does not seem to be the case. I do not 
+know whether the problem lies in mcs or the class libraries because when I only get 
+correct results when using Rotor's csc to compile and clix to run. (If I use mcs then run 
+with clix or use csc and run with mono, I get errors.) 
+ 
+Steps to reproduce the problem: 
+1. Compile libchar.so: gcc -shared -o libchar.so char.c 
+2. Compile unicode.cs: mcs unicode.cs 
+3. Run: mono unicode.exe 
+ 
+Actual Results: 
+ 
+Output: 
+3 
+myFunction() 
+16961 67 11160 
+ 
+ 
+Expected Results: 
+Output: 
+3 
+myFunction() 
+65 66 67 
+ 
+ 
+How often does this happen?  
+ 
+Always
